I think you are wrong, in that Tony Bloom didn't want to take over until the planning permission had been secured. Why would Dick Knight want to nearly skint himself, just for the sake of ego? Don't forget we still had to pay Archer off whilst at Withdean.

I would say American Express is more global than the Premier League.

DK didn't have a lot of choice, did he? Don't forget the board had Martin Perry, Ray Bloom, Derek Chapman etc all of whom were very involved with the stadium work.

Autobiographies are just one person's view by their very nature. When did Tony Bloom actually become a director? We know he put money in before he took over but how soon did he do that? Was he on the board when we sold Virgo for 1.5 million which paid the Capital Gains tax on the Goldstone...

We took 28K to the Millenium which included a lot of kids.

You're making the common mistake that the 5K-8K at Withdean were the same people every season.

It was meant to be.

I thought as much. The question is, did he resign or was he 'pushed into resigning'?

DK also apologised when he handed over to TB because it was understood that no one man should ever own the club again, but that he had no choice.

It's a role in name only, since he resigned from Albion in the Community.

That's not necessarily true. We probably would have had a much cheaper stadium paying interest on payments, and not much to spend on players.

Edit, seems my query has been answered above.
